A. N. LADIN CONVERTIBLE BABY CARRIAGE RUNNER Filed Mafch 15, 1922 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 I'Lg INVENTOR ATTO RN EY braces 11 and 16 and curve taching ends 25 of which are attached one (Ito each of the inwardly having engagement substantially equi-distant of the braces.

The horizontal supporting portion 6 is positioned at a slightly higher elevation than the horizontal attaching portion 13, as clearly shown in Fig. l of the drawings, So as to permit the attachment of the flattened attaching ends of the handles 26 to the runner structure and al. to the carriage body or basket 9. "he flattened atrest upon the horizontal attaching portions 13 and engage against the under surface of the body, as clearly The banapproved shown in Fig. l of the drawings. dles 26, which are connected by an type of hand grip bar or rod 27 are braced from the braces 12 by diagonal braces 28 which are attached to the braces 1:2 and to the handles outwardly out of the flattened attaching portions 25.

As shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings the runners l and 2 diverge slightly from each other towards their lower or tread portions 3.

rom the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings it will be apparent that the improved runner structure may be attached to any baby can riage body or basket in lieu of the running gear structure of the baby carriage and permit use of the carriage in the winter as well as in the summer or warmer seasons thereby eliminating the necessity of purchasing a separate sled structure for use in winter, and that the improved runners may be attached to the baby carriage body or bed merely by the loosening of the four nuts 30 which are carried by the bolts 8 and 15 respectively and the retightening of the nuts upon the bolts after the nuts have been inserted through the proper openings 7 or 14 in the horizontal attaching portions (3 and 13 respectively.

t is, of course, to be understood that the invention may be constructed in other manners and the parts associated in different relations and, therefore, I do not desire to be limited in any manner except as set forth in the claim hereunto appended.

aving thus described my invention what claim is:

The combination with a baby carriage body, bolts for attaching the body to a running gear structure, of sled runners. comprising treads having their forward ends curved upwardly and shaped to provide horizontal attachingportions adapted to receive said bolts, substantially U shaped bracing members attached to said treads and having upper horizontal attaching portions adapted to receive certain of said bolts. said treads extending downwardly from the horizontal attaching portions thereon to provide braces.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
